 thousand and one claims and demands of life there is genuine heroism. Cultivate that virtue of self-control, not only in physical irregularities, but also in mental excesses and moral aberrations; that thus your growth might be all-round. Let each of you tell himself, 'I shall endeavour to subdue this excess or that exuberance, even because any excess and any exuberance in one direction tells against, retards, the growth in some other direction.' Be balanced; be all-round, in your growth and expansion; for then you will own and enjoy what most people in and of the world do not at present possess-peace that passes understanding; love that overleaps all limitations; and life that surpasses time and circumstance. God's best blessings be with you all!
